Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a bridge with people walking across it under umbrellas in the rain. The bridge is long and elevated, with a railing on both sides and a series of supports underneath. It has a light-colored deck and dark supports. Four people walk on the bridge, all wearing traditional Japanese clothing and holding umbrellas. From left to right, the first person wears a teal and red garment and a black umbrella; the second and third people appear to be wearing dark jackets and light-colored garments, and hold white umbrellas; the fourth person wears a dark jacket and holds a white umbrella. The people are walking to the right. In the background, a person rows a boat on the water below the bridge. The sky is gray and rainy, with darker clouds above and a blueish-gray area below. Two vertical orange rectangles with Japanese writing are on the image, one in the bottom-left corner and one on the right side. A small beige rectangle with Japanese writing is in the top-right corner. The image has a beige border.
